Interesting post. I find it difficult to believe that man can selectively
log a forest and do a better job than nature - I think that's what the
Timberlands people used to try and tell us.

Subject: Re: [sharechat] planting trees

At one stage there was a lot of research being done with Kauri by well
known Native Plantsman Graeme Platt.
Recently his name appeared in this interesting article relating to
other species suitable for timber in NZ.

with reference to selective logging may I give my 1 cents worth .
Having spent some time in Sarawak (Borneo) I suppose the shock of
seeing such vast forests totally decimated ,and the troubles the
government is now having trying to police the new selective logging
practices has made me somewhat negative towards any Native Forest
logging.
